Using mysql in web2py turnkey 13.0

Just another note when using this appliance: you might get an mysql error when following the tutorial 

http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview#Startup

The error is 

1071, 'Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes'

Culprit : 

db.define_table('image',
   Field('title',unique=True),   <-----
   Field('file', 'upload'),
   format = '%(title)s')

either use 
   Field('title',unique=True,length=255)

or 

db.image.title.requires = IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, db.image.title)

after the statement.

for mysql-web2py than for tkl

Hi Jeremy, Yes, the first post is a bug, but for the  mysql problem,  it is more of a mysql bug-feature than anything to do with TKL. It applies to anything running web2py-mysql not just TKL. Other database servers dont have this problem.  regards!
